This application claims priority from the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/948,656 filed on Dec. 16, 2019, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to a nonsurgical medical treatment for retraction and inversion of penile foreskin to expose mucosal membranes of the penis in an uncircumcised male human and devices structured to achieve this goal. More particularly, the present invention is directed to heal an infection or disease localized at/to the skin of the penis and foreskin of the penis.
Among various infections that may affect the foreskin and the glans of the penis of an uncircumcised male there are Balanitis, Posthitis, Balanoposthitis, Lichen Sclerosis, Lichen Planus, Chancroids, Candida, Yeast Infection, Thrush, and Bacterial Infection. The most common recommended treatment for these diseases is the application of topical cream or ointment to the affected tissues including the mucosal membrane tissue of the foreskin when inverted. However, in an uncircumcised male these creams or ointments may be pushed off of the penis and foreskin by the foreskin itself in such a manner as to exit the body or by contact to surrounding clothing—this, understandably, limits the efficiency of the medical treatment. A sustained retraction of the foreskin could aid application of this topical cream and may speed up the healing process by promoting appropriate contact of the medication with the affected areas. While in severe cases circumcision may be recommended to limit the source of infection, it may not be the preferred solution for some patients who favor a nonsurgical approach. In these cases, the ability to temporarily retract the foreskin and sustain such retraction could be practically useful and equally curative.
Embodiments of the present invention provide is a penile foreskin retractor device that temporarily retracts and inverts the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis to expose the mucosal membranes and to allow for the healing of an infection or disease affecting anatomies of the penis such as the skin of the glans of the penis, external urethral orifice, and foreskin. Such diseases could include but are not limited to Balanitis, Posthitis, Balanoposthitis, Lichen Sclerosis, Lichen Planus, Chancroids, Candida, Yeast Infection, Thrush, and Bacterial Infection.
In one example, the penile foreskin retractor device may be configured as a stand-alone device that is attached to the exterior of the penis and foreskin that uses the glans as an anchoring feature to create a reaction force for retraction. An embodiment of the device may also be coupled with an undergarment or strap to help secure it to the body and similarly create a reaction force for retraction. In practice, the use of the penile foreskin retractor device may employ a combination of both of the above as anchors for retraction. The undergarment, when used, may be advantageously configured to have components (such as a protective cup of sorts) that serve as a protective shield for the exposed, sensitive penile skin from surrounding objects (e.g., clothing) or that are used for retracting the foreskin. The protective cup may also be used as a base for multiple retraction methods. The penile foreskin retractor device, both disposable stopper and reusable undergarment, may be made available in different sizes to the patient to ensure the best fit.
Notably, the various embodiments to be described and the components thereof are preferably designed to accommodate changing dimensions of the penis due to natural oscillation between engorged and flaccid states. Generally, embodiments of the penile foreskin retractor are dimensioned to contact the circumference of the penis and foreskin to create desired pressure to ensure a fixed position of the device on the foreskin. The device may be worn for several hours a day and can be applied and removed by the patient at any time. As discussed in more detail below, any of the components including the device and undergarment may be configured as a mesh-component based contraption to allow for grip and application of topical ointments through the mesh. (A person of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate that the penile foreskin retractor device should allow for the proper use of topical medication without chemical interaction or mechanical interference with the topical use on the penis and retracted and inverted foreskin.)
In at least one implementation, the penile foreskin retractor may incorporate a clip judiciously dimensioned to possess the capability to stretch and constrict the clipped member as needed to result in a desired pressure to hold the foreskin in the retracted position without interrupting blood circulation or cause discomfort while the device is worn.
When multiple clips are used, a better fit and securing of the device on the penis is afforded. For example, two clips are used to retract the foreskin. Such clips may be made with expandable and flexible material to allow comfort and circulation as the penis changes size and position during the day. One of the clips may be attached and secured to the neck of glans (behind the head of the penis) after exposing the glans. Another clip may be worn on the shaft on top of the retracted foreskin. These clips can have a geometrial shape that does not restrict the corpus spongiosum or blood circulation to enhance comfort and functionality.
The clip that is secured behind the penis glans may push the second ring toward the body using magnetic properties. The clip may be connected to another clip via solid or porous (or perforated) cylinder component or a mesh component. The first and second clips may be separated using shape-memory properties of the materials used in the mesh or the porous cylinder.
Alternatively, a hollow cylinder component or element with solid or perforated (interchangeably referred to herein as “porous”) wall or a mesh component of the device may be used without a clip embedded in the device structure. The material used may have elastic properties to hold on to the penis and change geometry as the penis changes shape and size. The elasticity and pressure exerted on the penis may be able to hold the device in place and keep the skin retracted while not interfering with blood circulation or cause discomfort to the user. Generally, the penile foreskin retractor may be made out of composite materials, both by combining homogeneous materials and using multiple materials heterogeneously in tandem, to satisfy the desired application.
The cylinder element when employed maintains the retraction of the foreskin using shape-memory properties of the materials used in such cylinder element. The cylinder element (or a cylindrical component) of the device may be made of a material maintaining the permanent cylinder shape or may incorporate a flexible sheet of material, such as fabric. The permanently cylinder-shape-maintaining device may utilize a clamshell or hinge method to configure the device over the penis or the penis can be inserted in the device. The soft-sheet-based design, on the other hand, may use materials allowing bending that can then be wrapped around the penis and inverted foreskin and finally fastened to form a cylindrical shape. A fastening method such as Velcro, hook and loop, button, or similar methods can be used to hold the device in a cylindrical form and may enhance the adaptability of the device for different sizes. To further enhance adaptability of the design, an elastic material such as spandex may be introduced in whole or part with respect to the fastening method. To ensure foreskin retraction the device requires a reaction force utilizing the glans of the penis, an undergarment, or a combination of both as an anchor for retraction.
In at least one implementation, one cylinder component of the device may be complemented by another cylinder component of a different diameter (and co-axially arranged with respect to the first one) to hold the foreskin in a retracted position. The outer cylinder component is preferably in larger than the inner cylinder component not only in diameter but also in length. The use of such embodiment requires first to insert the smaller diameter cylinder component of the device over the penis; then to pull the foreskin towards the shaft to expose penis head (glans) and over the inner cylinder; and, once the foreskin is positioned over the inner cylinder, to insert the penis into the outer cylinder component until this outer cylinder reaches the neck of glans. The foreskin is then sandwiched between the outer cylinder (with a larger diameter) and the inner cylinder (with a smaller diameter). At least one of these cylinders may be made of materials that may have shape memory, magnets, or other means to create the necessary force required for sustained foreskin retraction and inversion.
One implementation of the penile foreskin retractor can utilize a spatially-tapered end to enhance the attachment of the embodiment to the penis. Alternatively, or in addition, at least one implementation may utilize synthetic finger-like protrusions to aid the device in maintaining the foreskin retraction with the use of multiple touch points instead of a circumferential surface connection, and may be added to further enhance the design while increasing comfort during use. In some embodiments of the penile foreskin retractor, the protrusions may extend from the rings or cylinders used for retraction (such as tubules, knurling, or dimples) and in other embodiments they may extend like tubules from the protective portion of an undergarment.
In one example, a pneumatic ring may be used to adjust the pressure applied on the penis to keep the retracted skin in place. Pneumatic-controlled outer circumferential cylinder for radial grip to the penis to allow the user to adjust the pressure as desired. Also, the pneumatic ring may use a self-regulating mechanism such as a balloon to allow leeway as the penis changes in size to enhance comfort and ensure the retracted foreskin remains in a retracted position. The pneumatic ring may use the undergarment as a reference point to keep the foreskin retracted and inverted.
The penile foreskin retractor may further incorporate two flexible arms attached to the undergarment that can adjust their shape to follow the changing size and shape of the penis. In this case, one side of each of the arms is attached and fixed to the undergarment, while the other side of each of the arms may be made of soft material and designed to create a smooth contact with the penis. Overall, the two arms are judiciously configured to exert pressure forces in two opposite directions (with the first art applying positive vertical force and the second arm applying negative vertical force) such that the net of the two forces substantially equals to zero.
The finger-like projection retraction arms would be placed on the opposite sides of the retracted and inverted foreskin to hold the foreskin retracted. The finger like projection retraction method may use two tubes that are crossing the sagittal plane and attached to the undergarment from both ends of the tubes. The tubes are connected to the top and the bottom of the foreskin to provide a reaction force needed for foreskin retraction and inversion.
In at least one implementation, the penile foreskin retractor may utilize multiple rings utilizing flexible polymeric materials and connected with each other along an axis of the device to create a baffle (collapsible) design. In such example, the overall shape of the penile foreskin retractor may be a conical spring. The base ring may have a bigger diameter than the ring located at the apex of the conical spring. The base ring is then positioned closer to the body of the use during the use of the device and may optionally be secured on the undergarment to hold position and the apex ring is attached to the foreskin to hold the retracted foreskin in place. The collapsible and foldable section of the baffle retraction design may allow for flexibility with the changing size of the penis. Also, the material used must provide a desired force needed for foreskin retraction and inversion.
An embodiment of the penile foreskin retractor may be used to retract the foreskin with or without manually retracting the foreskin using the fingers. In some embodiments of the device, the retracting part may retract the foreskin as the user already installed and now wears the device. In one such embodiment, the primary retraction of foreskin is achieved with the device including a cylindrical portion, a retracting ring, a handle for retraction, and a specially designed material to connect the device to the foreskin. The cylindrical portion has a slot section dimensioned to accommodate a movement of the handle and the retractable ring. The retractable handle is use to adjust the force applied to the penis, while the retractable ring may include multiple sections. In operation, the user inserts the penis into the retractable ring through the cylinder portion to expose, invert and retract the foreskin. The ring is then secured on the inverted foreskin using the radial force of the ring. This embodiment of the penile foreskin retractor allows the user to adjust retraction force as desired. The ring may use the cylinder portion as a moving rail and a locking feature. In related embodiments, the both the handle can be employed with any of the above-mentioned multiple components (including the one with a tapered end and/or multiple synthetic finger-like protrusions and/or circumferential surface connection with the penis) to enhance attachment of the device to the penis. When employed, the finger-like protrusions may be made to extend from the rings of the device used for retraction of foreskin.
An embodiment of a clip 200 configured to retract and maintain foreskin retraction when cooperated with the penis 100 (typically, as parts of an embodiment of the overall device) is presented in an isometric view in
In a related implementation, multiple clips 200 are used not by themselves but in cooperation with a tube-like and generally cylindrical element shown in the specific embodiment of
In operation, the user pulls the foreskin towards the shaft to expose penis head (glans) 103 and then inserts the penis into a proximal clip 200 cooperated with the cylinder 400 and through the 201, see
When none of the clips 200 is embedded into or passed through the structure of the cylinder 400, the position first and second clips 200 (with respect to the body of the cylinder 400) may utilize shape-memory properties of the materials used in the porous cylinder.
In this case, the used material may be chosen (such as nitinol (nickel-titanium), PTFE, Spandex, Silicone, Polyurethane, to name just a few) to have appropriate elastic properties to hold on to the penis and change the geometry of the cylinder (diameter, length) as the penis changes its shape and size. The elasticity and pressure exerted on the penis by such porous cylinder portion holds the device in place and keep the skin retracted while not interfering with blood circulation or cause discomfort to the user.
In an embodiment 600 of
In reference to
In at least one case at least one of the cylindrical components (e.g., 400, 600, 806 etc) may be spatially-tapered—as schematically illustrated in the case of embodiment 1300 of
Alternatively or in addition, either the cylindrical or the conical component of the device (whether it is formatted as a “porous” component that contains a multiplicity of throughout openings, or a substantially spatially-uninterrupted wall, or a wall made of a mesh) may be complemented with finger-like protrusions disposed on the inner side of the corresponding cylinder (or cone) to aid the action of retracting the foreskin by providing multiple touch points instead of a circumferential edge or surface contact between the cylindrical (or conical) component of the device and the foreskin while, at the same time, increasing comfort of the wearer during the use of the device. As shown in
Referring now to
In yet another related embodiment, the embodiment 1900 of the foreskin retraction device includes a cylindrical component 1910 (shown in
In operation, the device 1900 is disposed around the penis with the ring 1914 abutting the glans 103 and the handle 1914 in close proximity to the glans. In particular, the user pulls the foreskin towards the shaft to expose penis head (glans) 103 and then inserts the penis into the retracting ring 1914 through the cylinder 1910. The user may also pull the cylinder 1910 until it reaches the neck of glans 103 (behind the head of the penis). The ring 1914 is then secured on inverted foreskin using ring elasticity. The design allows the user to adjust retraction force as desired: the retractive handle 1918 is configured to allow the user to adjust the force when moving the ring 1912 backwards to create a force required for skin retraction and inversion. The ring 1914 may be use the cylinder 1910 as a moving rail and a locking feature. In some embodiments of the device, the retracting part 1912 may retract the foreskin as the user wears the device and in other embodiments. The user must retract the foreskin manually before wearing the device. (Additionally, as discussed below, the embodiment 1900 may be anchored to accessories worn around the body such as an undergarment to provide a reaction force needed for foreskin retraction and inversion.)
Substantially any embodiment of the retraction device may be in practice anchored to accessories 2100 shown in
Furthermore, auxiliary units may be used to either be operated independently to retract and invert the foreskin or complement another embodiment of the retractive device. For example, as schematically illustrated in
Yet another alternative arrangement of the foreskin retraction and inversion device 2800 is shown in
Yet in another related embodiment 3200, device may include a cylindrical ring 3210 supported by the arm-extensions 3214. Depending on the nature of the material used for the ring 3210, this embodiment may be configured to have the capability to stretch and constrict as needed to result in a desired pressure to hold the foreskin in the retracted position without interrupting blood circulation or causing discomfort while the device is worn with the ring 3210 inserted over the shaft of the penis and the arms 3214 supported in the undergarment 2110 (for example, in the openings of the protective element 2110). The design may consist of composite materials, both by combining homogeneous materials and using multiple materials heterogeneously in tandem, to satisfy the desired application. In operation—especially when the undergarment cup 2110 is made deformable, the user can push the sides of the cup to dilate the vertical distance between the arm extensions for the purpose of repositioning the shaft of the penis longitudinally.

A person of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate that references throughout this specification to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “a related embodiment,” or similar language mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the referred to “embodiment” is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in an embodiment,” and similar language throughout this specification may, but do not necessarily, all refer to the same embodiment. Accordingly—as the skilled artisan will readily appreciate—while in this specification the embodiments have been described in a way that enables a clear and concise specification to be written, it is intended that substantially none of the described embodiments can be employed only by itself to the exclusion of other embodiments (to the effect of practically restriction of some embodiments at the expense of other embodiments), and that substantially any of the described embodiments may be variously combined or separated to form different embodiments without parting from the scope of the invention. In particular, it will be appreciated that all features described herein at applicable to all aspects of the invention. For example, a combination of the features of the embodiments of substantially any of
In addition, when the present disclosure describes features of the invention with reference to corresponding drawings (in which like numbers represent the same or similar elements, wherever possible), the depicted structural elements are generally not to scale, and certain components are enlarged relative to the other components for purposes of emphasis and understanding. It is to be understood that no single drawing is intended to support a complete description of all features of the invention. In other words, a given drawing is generally descriptive of only some, and generally not all, features of the invention. A skilled artisan will recognize that the invention may possibly be practiced without one or more of the specific features, elements, components, structures, details, or characteristics, or with the use of other methods, components, materials, and so forth. Therefore, although a particular detail of an embodiment of the invention may not be necessarily shown in each and every drawing describing such embodiment, the presence of this particular detail in the drawing may be implied unless the context of the description requires otherwise. In other instances, well known structures, details, materials, or operations may be not shown in a given drawing or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of an embodiment of the invention that are being discussed. Furthermore, the described single features, structures, or characteristics of the invention may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more further embodiments.
Therefore, while generally the implementation of the invention is directed to a device for maintaining retraction and inversion of a foreskin of a male user (while keeping glans of an uncircumcised penis and mucosal membranes exposed), in which device includes a foreskin stopper unit dimensioned to be positioned onto and in contact with a shaft of the penis with the exposed glans and mucosal membranes against a neck of the glans, and in which device (1) the stopper unit is configured to press against the glans to form an anchoring feature for said stopper unit to create a reaction force for sustained inversion of the foreskin, and/or (2) the stopper unit is connected and affixed to a component of undergarment of the user, a specific embodiment of such device in which the stopper unit contains one or more of the following structural features—a) a tubular component containing at least one of a hollow cylindrical element and a hollow conical element a diameter of at least one of bases of which is dimensioned to anchor against the glans and a length to cover at least a portion of the inverted foreskin with the exposed mucosal membranes when installed over the shaft; b) a ring dimensioned to completely circumscribe the shaft at the neck of glans; c) a curved clip configured as a coil spring; d) multiple arched arms, each dimensioned to contact the shaft along a portion of a circumference thereof at the neck of glans while leaving a portion of said circumference exposed and not directly connected with one another; and e) multiple rods or tubes, each dimensioned to be installed in contact with and across the shaft at the neck of glans—is also a stand-alone related embodiment of the invention. Similarly, while the general scope of the method of maintaining a foreskin of a penis of a user in a retracted and inverted position (with a device that includes a foreskin stopper unit dimensioned to be positioned onto and in contact with a shaft of the penis with exposed glans and exposed mucosal membranes) is that including the actions of inverting the foreskin back to expose the glans and the mucosal membranes and disposing at least a first portion of the foreskin stopper unit at a shaft of the penis and over the inverted foreskin to hold the inverted foreskin in place (as a result of at least one of anchoring the device against at least one of glans of the penis and anchoring said stopper unit at an undergarment of the user), in at least one specific embodiment of the method the action of disposing may include one or more of the following steps: a) positioning a tubular component of the stopper unit over the shaft with an edge of the tubular component against the glans, wherein the tubular component contains at least one of a hollow cylindrical element and a hollow conical element a diameter of at least one of bases of which is dimensioned to anchor against the glans and a length to cover at least a portion of the inverted foreskin with the exposed mucosal membranes when installed over the shaft; b) locating a ring of the stopper unit over the shaft to completely circumscribe the shaft at the neck of glans; c) disposing a curved clip of the stopper unit onto the shaft; d) locating multiple arched arms of the stopper unit onto the shaft, each of the multiple arched arms dimensioned to contact the shaft along a portion of a circumference thereof at the neck of glans while leaving a portion of said circumference exposed and not directly connected with one another; and e) contacting each of multiple rods of the stopper unit with and across the shaft.
In operation, the initial retraction of the foreskin may be done by the operation of the device or the user himself who manually retracts and inverts the foreskin using his hands. The design may contact the circumference of the penis and foreskin to create desired pressure to ensure a fixed position of the device on the foreskin. To ensure foreskin retraction, the device requires a reaction force utilizing the glans of the penis, an undergarment, or a combination of both as an anchor for retraction. The topical cream or other medicine is applied on the affected area (in some cases—through perforations in the device) while the foreskin is kept retracted by this device.
The invention should not be viewed as being limited to the disclosed embodiment(s).
